Moody Gardens Penguin Cam - Galveston, Texas, USA

Inside the Aquarium Pyramid at Moody Gardens on Galveston Island, Texas, this camera looks into the South Atlantic penguin habitat, where penguins dive through the cold blue water and crowd together on the rocks above.

Five species share the habitat, king, gentoo, chinstrap, rockhopper and macaroni penguins. The kings are the tallest, the rockhoppers and macaronis have bright yellow crests, and the chinstraps have a thin black line running under their chins.

The aquarium has been open since 1990 and holds 1.5 million gallons of water and more than 10,000 animals, from sharks to reef fish, and there's a separate habitat for Humboldt penguins too.

Did You Know? King penguins don't build nests. They balance a single egg on their feet and keep it warm under a fold of skin called a brood pouch.
